visual-design_skill

Overview

This skill provides command-line image generation and slide-deck creation tools for design tasks. It combines the nanobanana CLI for creating and editing images with Slidev for building markdown-based presentations. Use it to produce logos, icons, diagrams, photo edits, and professional slide decks quickly.

How this skill works

Use the nanobanana CLI to generate, edit, and batch-produce images from prompts and simple commands, covering logos, icons, diagrams, patterns, textures, restorations, and UI assets. Use Slidev to author slides in Markdown, preview locally, export to formats like PPTX, and build hostable single-page presentations with animations, code highlighting, and diagrams.

When to use it

• You need a quick set of logo or icon variations for branding options.
• You must generate architecture diagrams, flowcharts, or UI mock assets from prompts.
• You want to restore or edit photos (remove backgrounds, repair damage).
• You need a slide deck authored in Markdown, exportable to PPTX or a hostable SPA.
• You want consistent visual sequences or patterns for product UI or marketing.

Best practices

• Provide concise, descriptive prompts for image generation (subject, style, color palette, output count).
• Use example images or masks when editing to guide precise changes like background removal or restorations.
• Keep Slidev slides modular: use small Markdown sections per slide and reuse components for consistent styling.
• Preview images and slides locally before exporting to catch layout or visual issues early.
• Export multiple formats (PNG, SVG for assets; PPTX and SPA for slides) to support different delivery needs.

Example use cases

• Generate four modern, minimal logo concepts to present to stakeholders.
• Create a flowchart diagram of authentication steps for engineering docs and export as SVG.
• Edit product photos to remove backgrounds and produce app-ready icons and thumbnails.
• Author a technical presentation in Slidev, include live code snippets and diagrams, then export to PPTX for a client.
• Produce patterned textures and visual sequences for UI theming and marketing assets.
